I finally finished the quilt

A year in the making, but I got this finished. I did not piece the quilt top, but a friend brought it to me,asked if I knew how to quilt. Well, sorta, kinda, maybe. So I got on the internet, youtube, went to quilt shops , I perservered, took me a year, but I got it done. Quilted, and bound. It feels good to start a project, and finish it. Now on to start Christmas.

Fall Is Here

Okay, not the best picture, but take my word for it, this stuff is the best bar cookie, dessert, whatever you want to label it, fantastic is the best description. A cross between a butter cookie, and a payday candy bar. Peanuts, marshmallow, peanut butter. it has it all.

Fall Candy Corn Bar

1 yellow cake mix
1 stick of butter, or margarine,softened
1 egg
3 cups mini marshmallows
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups rice crispy cereal
2 cups salted peanuts
1 cup fall candy corn

In large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, butter, egg, stir well, Press in the bottom of 15x10 pan. Bake 10-15 minutes, until base is set. Sprinkle with marshmallows, bake 3-4 minutes more. Let cool, and preparetopping. In large saucepan, combine syrup, sugar, brown sugar, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add peanut butter, cereal, peanuts, vanilla, and candy corn. Immediately spoon warm topping over marshmallowa, spread to cover. Chill until. This makes a big pan.

Line the 15x10 pan with the Reynolds non stick foil. If you use a 13x9 pan, it makes a really thick bar, very difficult to cut. The next batch I am going to sprinkle with some fall M&M's.


Enjoy your fall baking

I am going to add some chopped walnuts to the oatmeal mixture, this would work well
with orange peel also.

I feel fall in the air.

It's wonderful, boys started school, temps are dropping, leaves starting to fall. It's my favorite time of the year. I will be looking for apple, and pumpkin recipes, get busy in the kitchen.

It's time for Regionals

These are my cards I am creating for the Stampin Up regionals swap. I want to take

at least 50 of these with me, so I need to get to get a assembly line going. So far, so good, and I think they look really nice, something I will be proud to swap.

Stick with me gang, more recipes coming, I promise

It's Pizza Nite

It's been another week, doing double work outs, along with the full time x-ray gig, and being without a washing machine for four solid days. Still catching up with the washing, I got a spiffy front loader by GE. Friday found me wanting to leave the ER really fast, and get home to my precious grandsons. I whipped up a family favorite, Crazy Crust Pizza, can get it in the oven in less time that it takes to go through the drive thru window.

Crazy Crust Pizza

1 1/2 cups flour

2/3 cup milk

2 eggs

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

t tsp Italian seasoning

1 lb ground beef

1 onion chopped

3 cloves garlic minced

2 cups pizza sauce

2 cups mozzarella

Mix the flour,milk,eggs, and Italian seasoning together until a smooth batter.

Pour into a foil lined 9x13 pan. cook the ground beef until done, adding the onion, and garlic.

drain, and sprinkle on batter. bake 400 degrees for 15 minutes, then drizzle pizza sauce, and cheese on top, bake another 15 minutes until cheese and sauce is bubbly.

You can get creative, I add a little low fat turkey pepperoni to the ground beef, black olives.

Very versatile, and with a nice tossed salad, dinner is ready.
